An investigation has been launched by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch after a passenger's hand was trapped in the doors of a moving train at Ealing Broadway station. The incident, which occurred on 24 November, left the passenger needing to run alongside the train for several meters before being pulled away by railway staff, highlighting severe safety concerns.
The trap and drag incident is part of a troubling trend, as similar cases reported previously in locations like Enfield Town and Seven Sisters raise alarms about the safe operation and door mechanisms of Elizabeth line trains.
Rail Accident Investigation Branch aims to explore factors influencing the actions of those involved in the recent incident and will assess how risks associated with boarding and alighting from trains are managed to enhance safety protocols.
RAIB's inquiry into the Ealing incident emphasizes the importance of ensuring passenger safety—the findings will provide crucial insight into improving measures related to train operations and the prevention of such hazardous occurrences.
